Pantech supplies UMTS phone to M6 Mobile France

Pantech Group, the leading Korean handset manufacturer, announced that it started to supply its branded UMTS phone to M6 Mobile in France from early March.

M6 Mobile – a mobile communication service arm of M6-Metropole Television, the second biggest television company in France – has used Orange’s mobile network for its service and introduced the mobile service early in June, 2005.

The U4000 is a modern UMTS phone featuring a video telephony function incorporating a 1.3-mega pixel camera and VGA camera, a 1.9 inch 260,000 color TFT and 72 polyphonic ringtones. Other features include Bluetooth, a Micro SD card slot and an MP3 player.

Pantech has supplied the U4000 to Orange, the largest mobile service carrier in France since November 2006, marking Pantech’s first partnership with a Europe-based global mobile operator.
